Schiffbauer, farmer down in the
territory, about three miles below
town, has just finished his fall
shearing of sheep and has a nice
lot Of wool ready for market. He
says that his flock has averaged
six pounds of wool per head this
season. and that he makes more
money off the sheep than any
other stock he has ever handled.
A pension has been granted
to the widow OF Garland A. Mann.
One of the charges that Mann al.
legged against Dr. Chenoweth and
which may have been one of the
incentives for his assassination,
was that DR.. Chenoweth had not
dealt fairly by him (Mann) in his
report as examining surgeon to
the pension department, on his
(Mann's) case. Mann, before his
death, had vainly tried to secure
this pension, even going to Wash
ington and urging his own claim
at the pension department. The
pension with arrearages amounted
to s1300.

Townships One and Two.

Evidently Commissioner Sparks has been imposed upon in vithdravIng all the lands in townships one and north, range five and siI east, from entry. The Gazette learns from an undoubted sOuce. that only eighty acres in town ship one was ever held by the Indians. A party filed on this eighth of a section which created the rumpus. We have no means of knOvning what representa- tions were made to the General Office that caused the withdrawal of two town ships from sale or homestead entry be- cause the Indians had cultivated eighty acres in the northwest corner of one of tho townships, but we believe the &C., ton was ill-considered and ill-sdvised. All land in thIs valley shst can be re- claimed is wanted for settlement and any action of the Department calculated to withhold them from reclamation and settlement is against public policy, detrimental 10 the interests of our cOun- tY and should be st once revoked. The O Commissioner should sdvIse himself ss to the condition of these lands and limit his order to that portion on which the Indians have hved.-Gszette.

THE decision of Judge Barnes in the case of Maria Martinez Berger vs Roswell G. Wheeler. Rn ejectment suit ths. for the past year or more has been before the Distric. Court, is certainly a good one. The dispossession of Mrs. Berger of her birthright, by an over ofticious Indian agent was a wrong that sadly needed nghting. Judge Barnes, we are pleased to note has had the nerve and msnliness to do it. More than a year since this fellow Wheeler in the capacity of Indisn agent secured the re- moval of Mrs. Berger from her home CD the San Xavier reservation. This tract of land had under a Mexic can concession. been the home of her family for nearly 70 yeers-lnng before the bounderies of the reservation were outlined or even the Gadsden treaty had existence-Rnd until the advent of Wheeler, had enjoyed unin- terrupted possession of it. Wheeler and his ass Ocistes however, succeeded in getting her removal. and the home wherein she was born and raised, tuTned over 10 the lazy P..psgos. Her resti- tuition 90 her rights is an net of justice long delayed. It is a pity that these over officious officials cannot be made to pay roundly for some of their evIl minded mischieyous doiDgs. They how ever manage to "get orders" and then escape punishment in having acted un der orders"

TIE Indians under the leadership of the educated buck, are from the reports of yesterday, evidently already on the reservation. There it IS to be presumed , they are at least safe for the time being
 Of course these Indians are well-known to the San Carlos authorities and it now remains 10 be seen what disposition will be made of them. If arrested, and turned over to the civil authorities to be by them tried and punished for the crimes committed, well and good, but if not a most determined effort should be made to get them. They murdered Mike Grace Tn Pima County and are consequently smenable to our laws. It therefore becomes the bOunden duty of the next grand iury to indict them for the crime of murder, and on this in dictment the District Court can issue bench warrants for their arrest. To en- force this service the sheriff can it nec- essary, summons thousand men. and with this force, if properly handled, 1t has got to be dandy of reservation he can't get away with and that toe, un- der the cover and sanction of the law. We shall await with patience the dispo- sition of these murderers by the reserVa- vation authorities, but if this disposi- tion be not satisfactory to the people they must use some means that will.

AN exodus of Chinese from the Pacific to the Atlantic slope of the United States has been ID progress for several years; but it is only recently that 1t has heuun to sttra # much attention. There has been no rush of Chinese in large numbers toward the east. For IS there any now. But every now and then one, two or a small party of them turn their backs upon San Francisco and move eastward. This is now attracting Rtten- tion because the aggregate number of Chinese who have in this way gone east is already considerable. There is no reason 10 believe but that the movement U,lI continue. They will find employ ment in the large cities of the Mississip- nj Valley and the east, and they will be rece,yed with open arms by the people who vent their surplus affection on Iousey Indians and opium-smoking Asiaties. San Francisco will not hinder their departure. They are welcome to on Insome quarters of the east they may give trouble. but it IS not probable that they will become numerous enough m any one place to be the social nuis- snce that they are in San Francisco. For the whole country the movement be,okens good; for. distributed in small nnmbers throughout the United States, tba Chinese will be by no means so seri- ons A menace to the interest of Ameri- cans as they are when the majority Of them are collected together at one place Denver Republican.

HE following sensible remarks on the Indian situation in this Territory is taken from the San Martial IN. M.) Re- porter: Arizona Is indeed afflicted. With but few years respite jus. sue ceeding Gen. Crooks first campaigu in that Territory, the Apsches have made life and property inseenre, and have re- tarded its growth and the development of its resources. It was thought that Miles suceess had insured peace and se- curity, but the hope proved vain one. The sooner tbe country realizes the fact that there can be no safety as long as the government mBIntRins the blood thirsty devils in idl5ness on the reserva- tion, the better if will be. Labor is the great ciyiilzer and if the Indian was placed oE his own responsibility, to earn his own living or starve, the same as the white man, instead of being furnished with improved arms and ammunition, Indian outbreaks would cease. It Is to be regretted that the victims of the pres ent outbreak were not some of the psalm singing sentimentalists of the east who are even now sympathizing with Geronimo and his cut-ihrost band ou sccOunt Of their incarceration at Fort Marion.
